Four Years After BP Oil Spill... Where are we at?

Let Us Not Forget This is (Still) Happening

"There are hundreds of unresolved issues on the Gulf Coast, many of them predating the oil spill. With stories spilling in from all over the place, it’s going to be tough sussing out the true grit from the bullshit. Fortunately the good folks over at the Bridge the Gulf blog got you covered."

"I have lost five friends now who have passed on because they were not able to seek proper treatment to extract the chemicals from their bodies before the exposure killed them."

"BP's oil continues to take its toll on other areas of the Louisiana marsh, where people living in low-lying coastal communities are having to contemplate moving, hence abandoning their culture and way of life, due to the erosion of oiled marsh coupled with rising seas from climate change."

Sixth "Great" Extinction

Sixth "Great" Extinction

Before you dream of me tonight,
 you must first know that we named a geologic era after you.
 You mark time by 3's
   -Species per hour, that is.
 The metronome has clicked 24 times since my morning alarm sounded.
 I heard you got the Western Black Rhino.
  -Pity

The dog wags his tail.
 He doesn't know about you.
 His kin are dying.
 My kin are dead.

We build our lives in squares.
 You take lives from circles.
 Lost voices echo off concrete floors
 And invade my dreams.

You're doing this.
 No,
 No,
 We're doing this.

Follow-up: "Aflockalypse"

This article is a follow-up to the post where I discussed the massive amounts of birds and fish that are dying around the world. It seems that the USDA played a role in the deaths of some birds. But, what about the other die-offs? And, if the USDA is responsible for that, what else are they doing and not admitting to?

For some more information on the "aflockalypse," check out: http://www.universetoday.com/82263/aflockalypse-mass-animal-deaths-now-mapped-on-google/
Someone took the time to google-map the locations where the die-offs occurred.

“Aflockalypse”

Lots of animals all over the world are dropping from the sky or washing up on beaches. What are we to think about the massive die-offs that are occurring?

Is it a sign that the bible predicted?

Is it natural?

Or, does it point to something that we humans are doing to our environment?

A former professor, in a discussion on facebook, said "Large solar magnetic pulse hits the magnetosphere of the Earth over the course of a few days, pushing the normally spherical protective magnetosphere into an oblong shape. The "thin" side then allows increased radiation from the Van Allen belts to reach the surface of the planet. As the planet rotates, different areas get the radiation pulse. Wonder if anyone is measuring incident radiation at various spots over the past few days??"

I'm not sure what to think, but it's interesting to follow all these reports.
